It is truly a sad day for all of America. When you look at 3 dead and 100+ wounded, those numbers are lying. There are 1,000's that are suffering. They are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. When experiencing a horrific situation like the one our nation just suffered, grief and bereavement can set in quickly, leaving us depressed and sad. Some might not be able to get the events out of their heads. If you know someone suffering like this please suggest to them they seek out grief counseling.
